In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The life of the predecessors between words and deeds
The condition of the predecessors depends on matters
Obeying them and urging people to adhere to the group
A man wrote to Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him
Write to me with all knowledge
So he wrote to him
There is a lot of knowledge
But if you can meet God
Light from the blood of people
Belly khamis of their money
Kapha tongue about their symptoms
It is necessary for their group
So do it
Abu Zar’ah Al-Razi, may God have mercy on him, said
Friday and Jihad are with us
The righteous and the immoral
From the guardians who undertake this
Their kindness, gentleness and gentleness in dealing with them
It was said to Osama bin Zaid, may God be pleased with him
Do not enter upon Othman bin Affan, may God be pleased with him
So she spoke to him
And he said
You see, I'm not talking to him
Unless I hear you
By God, I spoke to him between myself and him
Unless I open a door
Be the first to open it
And I am not the one who says to a man
After being a prince on two legs
You are good
After I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
A man is brought and thrown into the fire
He grinds in it like a donkey grinds its millstones
Then the people of Hell surround him
And they say
Yes, so-and-so
Aren't you enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong?
And he says
I was enjoining good and not doing it
He forbade evil and did it
On the authority of Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him, he said:
I went to Hafsa and said:
There may be people like what you see
It did nothing for me
she said
Follow them, they are waiting for you
I fear that keeping you away from them will cause a difference
He was not terrified until he left
When the people dispersed
Muawiyah delivered a speech and said:
Who wanted to talk about this matter?
Let him look at his horn
We are more deserving of that than him and his father
Habib Ibn Maslamah said
Did I not answer him, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you
Ibn Omar said
I solved my pills
I understood what I said
I'm more deserving of that than you
Who killed you and your father for Islam?
I was afraid to say a word that would divide the crowd
And blood is shed in it
So I remembered what God had prepared in Paradise
The crack in the right
And do not be flattering in advising them
Ubayd Allah Ibn Ziyad returned
Maqil Ibn Yasar, may God be pleased with him
During his illness in which he died
He told him a stronghold
I am telling you a story I heard from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
I heard the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
No servant whom God has taken care of is a subject
He did not give her advice
Except he did not find the smell of heaven
Muhammad Ibn Wasi’, may God have mercy on him
With Yazid Ibn Al-Muhallab in Khurasan as an invader
So ask him for permission to perform Hajj
So he gave him permission
And he said to him
We order for you
He said
Order it to the entire army
He said no
He said
I don't need it
On the authority of Zaid Ibn Aslam, he said:
I was with Abu Hazim, may God have mercy on him, in Sifah
So Abdul Rahman Ibn Khalid sent to Abu Hazim
If we come to meet you and talk
Abu Hazem said
God forbid
I realized the people of knowledge
They do not carry religion to the people of the world
I wouldn't be the first to do that
If you have a need, let us know
Abdul Rahman confronted him and asked him
And he told him
You have bestowed upon us this dignity
It was said to Imam Malik, may God have mercy on him
You are entering upon the Sultan
They are unjust and unjust
And he said
May God have mercy on you
So where is the one who speaks the truth?
Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, said
If I offer the sword, I will not answer
That is, I do not give them an answer, which is contrary to the religion of God
The governor or prince wants him
To please them or to fear them
And he said
If the scholar answers, piety
And the ignorant is ignorant
When will the truth become clear?
Guidance and advice of predecessors
For those who want to join them
On the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, may God be pleased with him, he said
Beware of situations of temptation
It was said
What are the situations of temptation, O Abu Abdullah?
He said
Al-Amraa doors
One of you enters the prince
So he believes him in a lie
He says what is not in it
Muslim bin Omar, may God have mercy on him, said
It should be for those who served the Sultan
He should not be deceived by them if they are satisfied with him
It will not change for them if they are displeased with it
And what they carry is not burdensome
He does not hesitate to ask them
Al-Awza’i, may God have mercy on him, said
Whoever has a sultan
He ordered something that was not right
There is no fear of missing out
Do not speak to him about it in that case
And let him be disturbed
And if you see him ordering something he is afraid to miss
You must have his words
Whatever happened to you befalls you
Be patient with their injustice
And do not go out on them
Blame whoever did that
Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said in his sermon
Oh people
You must be obedient and united
It is the rope of God Almighty that He commanded
What you dislike in a group is better than what you like in a group
Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him, said when the pledge of allegiance to Yazid came to him
If it is good, we are satisfied
Even if it is a test of our patience
On the authority of Nafi’, may God have mercy on him, he said:
When the people of Medina deposed Yazid Ibn Muawiyah
Ibn Omar, may God be pleased with him, gathered his honor and his children
And he said
I heard the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying
A banner will be erected for every traitor on the Day of Resurrection
We have pledged allegiance to this man on the basis of the pledge of allegiance to God and His Messenger
And I do not know treachery
It is greater than a man pledging allegiance to God and His Messenger
Then the fight is set up for him
I do not know of any of you who has ousted or pledged allegiance in this matter
Except that it was the decisive factor between me and him
It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri, may God have mercy on him
O Abu Saeed
My outside came out in ruins
It is a locality near Basra
And he said
The poor man saw an evil and denied it
So he fell into what was most objectionable to him
Abu Al-Harith said
I asked Imam Ahmed, may God have mercy on him, about something that happened in Baghdad
They are going out
So I said
O Abu Abdullah
What do you say about going out with these people?
He denied that to them
And he made it say
Glory be to God
Blood blood
I do not see it nor do I order it
Patience in what we are in is better than temptation
Blood is shed in it
And money is permissible in it
And incest is violated
Did you not know what the people were in?
That means the days of strife
I said
And people today
Aren't they in turmoil, Abu Abdullah?
He said
Even if
It is a special temptation
If the sword falls
There was strife and the paths were cut off
Be patient with this
And your religion is safe for you, it is better for you
And I saw him denying rebellion against the imams
And he said
Blood
I do not see it nor do I order it
Hanbal said in the state of Al-Waqq
The jurists of Baghdad gathered to Abu Abdullah
So they came to Abu Abdullah
So I asked them for permission
And they said
O Abu Abdullah
This matter has worsened and spread
They mean showing him the creation of the Qur’an and other things
Abu Abdullah said to them
Whatever you want
They said
To agree with you that we are not satisfied with his command or authority
Abu Abdullah debated with them for an hour
And he told them
You must deny it in your hearts
And do not remove your hand from obedience
And do not break the stick of Muslims
And do not shed your blood or the blood of the Muslims with you
Look at the outcome of your matter
And be patient until righteousness rests
Or take comfort from an immoral person
Pray for them and refrain from praising them except rightfully
Al-Fudayl bin Iyad, may God have mercy on him, said
If only I had an answered invitation
I only made it in an imam
The righteousness of the Imam is the righteousness of the country and the people
On the authority of Omar bin Al-Fadl, he said:
I asked Abu Al-Alaa, may God have mercy on him
And the pilgrims in his cloak
So I said, O Abu Al-Alaa
Curse the pilgrims
He said, “I pray for his well-being.”
His righteousness is good for you
Other benefits
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said
This should not follow
It means people
Except for a man who has four defects
Softness without weakness
And severity is non-violence
And abstaining without being stingy
And grace is not extravagant
If one of them falls
All three were ruined
Abdullah bin Masoud, may God be pleased with him, said
If the imam is just
He will be rewarded and you should be grateful
And if it is unfair
The burden is on him and you must be patient
Abdul Malik bin Marwan, may God have mercy on him, said
Be fair to us, fellow parishioners
You want from us the biography of Abu Bakr and Omar, may God be pleased with them
You do not walk in us or in yourselves
With the biography of the subjects of Abu Bakr and Omar
We ask God to help everyone
On the authority of Ibn Hisham, he said:
Al-Ma'mun, may God have mercy on him, told me
O Ali, kings tolerate everything for their owners
Give three characteristics
I said: What are they, O Commander of the Faithful?
The mug said to the king
And disclose the secret
And exposure to inviolability
A life of peace
Between words and age
